Provide information about first contribution in API
This is raised in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/team-tasks/issues/46#note_108148602 where we want to add gitlab-ce~8745578 automatically via triage-ops.
We can do it if the API querying the merge requests could provide this information. A rough idea implementing this is:
diff --git a/lib/api/entities.rb b/lib/api/entities.rb
index 32f9bb4d448..526fdcf96cb 100644
--- a/lib/api/entities.rb
+++ b/lib/api/entities.rb
@@ -623,6 +623,7 @@ module API
merge_request.labels.map(&:title).sort
end
expose :work_in_progress?, as: :work_in_progress
+ expose :first_contribution?, as: :first_contribution
expose :milestone, using: Entities::Milestone
expose :merge_when_pipeline_succeeds
And so we could add this to triage-ops:
- name: Label community merge requests
conditions:
author_member:
source: group
condition: not_member_of
source_id: gitlab-org
labels:
- No Label
state: opened
actions:
labels:
- Community contribution

#{'/label ~"1st contribution"' if resource[:first_contribution]}
